I just discovered that my $1700 camera lens is broken and I am NOT the one who did it... more rant below
I want to preface this by saying I am very VERY careful with my shit. I never break my phones, I've had a DSLR camera since 2012 and bought a new one just last year and I am always careful and have never dropped or bumped or broken my camera equipment. Last year I decided to finally spend some money on a new camera and a nicer lens (because better glass is where it's at, so I've read). I used this lens on my trip to Europe back in March, and really haven't touched my camera since. (I wish I would - story for another time I suppose).
I've just picked it up to go take an on the whim photo of a road and some trees because fall is pretty and I'm standing on the street corner and my lens WILL NOT WORK. It no longer zooms when I move the ring. I look around at it, and I can tell based on the white marks around the edge of my lens protector filter (thank god for that) that this lens seems to have been dropped.
Read that first paragraph again. I DON'T DROP MY SHIT. I haven't touched this thing since March but once to take some photos of my cousins art. I would have a clear and precise memory of dropping this expensive and still kinda new to me lens.
So either I have literally lost my memory and do not remember doing something like this to my lens. My husband is lying to me when he says he didn't drop it when he randomly decided to use it this summer on a tripod. Or his brother is lying to me, and he used it at some point and dropped it. Based on the last photos on the camera, vote goes towards my husband, or vote goes towards me and having absolutely lost my fucking mind that I can't remember this happening to me.
If the zoom just didn't work I would think it got fucked in my bag on my trip home from Europe. I would think it fell off the shelf it sits on onto the carpeted floor of my office. Its those damn white little marks and the inability to remove the lens filter from it that make me believe it was dropped and on CONCRETE. (I have concrete in my backyard around my pool where my husband was taking photos).
I am just LIVID. this has ruined an otherwise lovely day that included beautiful weather, lunch outside, buying books, and a lovely coffee. I was going to go off and take a nice photo, something which I haven't really done in years outside travel, and it was going to be nice.
And now I'm looking at Canon's repair website quoting me $539 to repair it. And my husband just says "you can take it out of savings" thats NOT THE POINT. Thats $539 on christmas presents, on travel costs because we have to go see your family for christmas, thats new clothes, thats a new winter coat that I want so badly, thats a new bookshelf to fit all these fucking books we keep buying, thats a renovated bathroom, thats the feeling of financial security and having a backup because we spend too much money as it is. THAT IS $539 I HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER SPENDING TO REPAIR MY CAMERA I NEVER DROP.
so I am livid and pissed and on the verge of tears and I don't know what to do. And I truly don't know where to put my anger because it's either on myself (but how the fuck could it be because I DONT DROP MY SHIT) or on someone who has decided to not tell me the truth, or worse, used my expensive shit and doesn't even remember fucking it up.
If you read this far, bravo. I feel like I'm going to cry and throw up. I had hopes maybe it wouldn't be that expensive to repair. but of course it isn't cheap. I would honestly have better luck just buying a new different lens to use instead of repairing this. I am gutted.
